STUBBORN ARCHIVIST
Book ID/图书代码： 07980018C00034
English Summary/英文概要： A beautiful experimental novel of identity, family and growing up between cultures
In parts unsettling, in parts moving, and with moments of surprising humour, the author’s writing about women, and bodies, and belonging in more than one place is compelling and insightful. The novel is rooted in experience and the writing very confident. With touches of Jenny Offill’s Dept of Speculation and Valeria Luiselli’s Faces in a Crowd, this is a novel which is poignant and poetic, whilst being sharp and funny.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当你的母亲把另一个国家当作家时，很难知道你属于哪里。当和你住在一起的人不能说出你的名字时，你很难确切地知道你是谁。当你的身体不再是你自己的时候，你就很难理解你在这个世界上的位置。

Awards/获奖情况：Desmond Elliot Prize 2019!I read Stubborn Archivist in a ravenous gulp. It’s stunning: so articulate about what it means to live between two languages and countries, tenderly unravelling the knots of unbelonging. (Olivia Laing)
Stubborn Archivist is an intimate and wonderfully resourceful exploration of origins. In its quest to uncover what a person is made of it digs deeply into the living body, as well as tracing back through its tangled roots. Visceral and elegant, circumspect and vivid, Yara Rodrigues Fowler has a distinctly unhampered way of telling a story; I liked Stubborn Archivist very very much. (Claire-Louise Bennett)
My goodness. Yara Rodrigues-Fowler has conjured a work of rare power, startlingly original form, and devastating beauty. This novel is a triumph (Musa Okwonga)
Every page oozes with caustic wit, despair and self-awareness, creating a lyrical debut that pushes the novel form like no other in recent years. A talent to watch (Nikesh Shukla)
Yara Rodrigues Fowler has written something extraordinary, playing with structure to create an insightful, lyrical and visceral novel (Emerald Street)
Rodrigues Fowler’s debut novel is a timely exploration of what it means to understand past and present and the delicate balance of embracing two cultures simultaneously...Original and thought-provoking, this is a book that’s well worth your time (Stylist)
With an exceptionally light touch, the debut novelist Yara Rodrigues Fowler uses dialogue to sketch out a young woman’s awkward attempts to articulate and reconcile different aspects of who she is . . . The novel ends with a tiny movement, a moment of discovery all the more tantalizing for remaining largely unexpressed, and this is undoubtedly the novel’s strength: its ability to show something momentous - about cultural identity, sexual violence, racial prejudice - without seeming to say anything at all (TLS)
